Char siu pork with rice and greens

Cantonese barbecue pork, roasted in a sticky honey, hoisin and five-spice glaze until lacquered and charred at the edges. Served with rice and garlicky pak choi, with plenty left for fried rice.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Mix the hoisin, soy sauce, 40g honey, sugar, five spice and garlic. Coat the pork strips in it and marinate.
  2. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Sit the pork on a rack over a foil-lined roasting tin with a splash of water in the bottom (keep the leftover marinade). Roast, turning and brushing with the marinade halfway.
  3. Mix the last 20g honey with a spoonful of hot water and brush it over the pork. Roast until sticky and charred at the edges.
  4. Meanwhile rinse the rice and cook it. Drain and keep covered.
  5. Heat the oil in a wok, fry the sliced garlic for a few seconds, add the pak choi and a splash of water and stir-fry until just wilted. Drizzle with oyster sauce.
  6. Rest the pork for 5 minutes, then slice. Serve with the rice and greens, and set aside about a quarter of the pork for later in the week.
